The adoption of Microsoft 365 has grown by more than 100 per cent. Microsoft rolled out the preview of a new Workplace Analytics solution, which uses collaboration insights from the Microsoft Graph, to help teams run efficient meetings, create time for focused work, and respect work/life boundaries.

San Francisco: Microsoft on Friday introduced new Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered capabilities in Microsoft 365 that will allow people in an organisation create live and on-demand events. Events can now be viewed in real-time or on-demand, with high-definition video and interactive discussion, the company said in a statement. Launched one year back, the adoption of Microsoft 365 has grown by more than 100 per cent -- building on over 135 million commercial monthly Office 365 users, 200 million Windows 10 commercial devices in use, and over 65 million seats of Enterprise Mobility + Security.

"Today, we are introducing new ways Microsoft 365 connects people across their organisation and improves collaboration habits, including new AI-infused capabilities," said Ron Markezich, Corporate Vice President for Microsoft. AI-powered services will include speech-to-text transcription, timecoding, transcript search and closed captions to make the event more accessible to all.
